For example: Let's take Bill Laimbeer. Laimbeer has been the obvious choice as head coach of the Pistons for roughly 5 years. Laimbeer is an outstanding WNBA coach, a loyal company man and a Bad Boy through and through with his number hanging in the rafters. Even if Joe had hired Laimbeer, and it didn't work out, no one would have blamed Joe. Everyone would have said, "Hey...Laims paid his dues, deserved a shot and it didn't work out."

Or how about the Billups for AI trade. The safe move was to stick with the tried and true Billups. Even if the Pistons had foundered this year, no one would have blamed him for sticking with Billups.

But Joe threw causion to the wind and picked up a high risk player in Iverson. Now everyone is saying, "What was Joe thinking?"

My point is, Joe's understanding of the risk/reward of transactions is becoming way out of whack. He is tending toward making dumb, high risk moves.

Yeah, it sucks that we are stuck with Iverson for another four and half seasons, and with no cap room left over to improve our team. Joe is one dumb ^&$@##%$^$*.

As for Laimbeer, it is obvious you have no idea who you are talking about.

-Former NBDLer (Fort Wayne, Colorado 14ers, LA Clippers)
-Young dude (24)
-Cheap (free agent looking to improve on the $750,000 he made last year)
- Would flourish off of the bench and provide scoring.
- Could be a temp replacement for Rip in the event that he's traded.
- 3 point threat that can spread the floor for Stuck.
- He has a mowhawk.
